Religion and Sectarianism Term Paper
Religion has historically united people but also caused conflict by dividing them into in-groups and out-groups. Over time, religions originally seen as unified have split into sects due to differing interpretations and political influences, fueling tensions. The document discusses how sectarianism arises from feelings of threatened religious identity and loyalty to one's own sect. It reviews literature analyzing the social and political dimensions of sectarianism historically within religions like Christianity, Islam, and African-American churches. Conflict theory is discussed as explaining how elites use religion to control the lower classes.

Sectarianism in Pakistan
This is an account of the present scenario of sectarian violence in Pakistan, and its psychological effects on individuals in country.
Sectarian violence
Sectarian violence in Pakistan has claimed thousands of lives since the 1980s and remains a serious problem. It has deep roots originating from policies that fostered religious extremism and militancy. Efforts are needed to address the political, economic, and social factors that have promoted intolerance and enabled militant groups to indoctrinate youth. Long-term strategies are required to strengthen cultural heritage, promote dialogue between religious communities, and reverse hate-based teachings through education and an inclusive political system.

Sectarianism
This document discusses sectarian conflict, specifically in Pakistan. It begins by defining sectarianism and sectarian conflict, noting it arises from discrimination or hatred based on religious subdivisions. In Pakistan, sectarian violence refers to attacks against religious groups like Sunni, Shia, Sufi, Ahmadi, Hindu and Christian. Militant groups perpetrate violence against these groups. Over 2000 Shia Hazaras have been killed by Sunni terrorists since 2000. Sectarianism has negatively impacted society through economic downfall, political unrest, instability, and weakening defenses. The document applies sociological paradigms like structural functionalism and symbolic interactionism to analyze sectarianism.
Religious extremism in pakistan
Religious extremism in Pakistan has led to threats to faith, life, peace, security and national solidarity. It has also resulted in domestic war and terrorism. The document identifies various internal factors like illiteracy, brainwashing in madrassas, a faulty political system and lack of law enforcement as contributing to extremism. External factors include drone attacks, international policies favoring other countries over Pakistan and domestic interference by foreign countries. Solutions proposed include providing a safe and enabling environment, training religious workers, focusing on human values over differences, emphasizing education and managing media broadcasts to rebut extremism. The best solution is considered to be educating the population to make minds less susceptible to radicalization.
Religion in a Global Context (1)
Globalization has led to rapid economic growth and rising prosperity in India, creating an urban middle class. However, contrary to predictions, this class has become more religious rather than less. Hinduism legitimates Indian nationalism and the middle class's newfound consumerism. It reconciles traditional renunciation of desires with materialism by teaching that desires reflect divinity when used to motivate work. Similarly, modernized versions of Hinduism allow rituals to "spiritually balance" consumerism. This has contributed to a "Hindu ultra-nationalism" but also widening divisions with religious minorities.

Secterianism in islam
Sectarianism is present in Pakistan and has three types: religious, linguistic, and political. Religious sectarianism is the most severe problem, particularly the Sunni-Shia conflict. This sectarianism leads to violence and killing of innocent people through attacks. To counter sectarianism, Pakistan needs serious and permanent initiatives such as adopting a concept of national identity that avoids religious, ethnic, tribal, and geographic identities, and instead promotes a shared identity as Pakistani citizens.
Sectarianism presentation
Sectarianism is a social problem in Pakistan that promotes discrimination and hatred between religious sects or groups. It has resulted in massive killings in Karachi and elsewhere. To strive for peace, sectarianism should be discouraged by the government and social groups at both the national and individual levels by promoting tolerance and harmony between all people.
B.S SOCIOLOGY MALE 11 PRESENTATION SOCIAL THOUGHT
This document discusses sectarianism in Pakistan, providing definitions and history. It notes that sectarianism is a recent phenomenon in Pakistan, where for most of the country's history, people of different Islamic sects coexisted peacefully. However, under Zia-ul-Haq's Islamization policies in the late 1970s and 1980s, sectarian divisions increased. Since then, sectarian violence has risen significantly, with over 2,000 Shia Hazaras killed in attacks since 2000. The document also discusses discrimination faced by religious minorities like Christians, Hindus, and Ahmadis in Pakistan.
The Salience of Sectarianism, Making Sect Stick in Syria and Iraq
This thesis examines how sectarianism became a dominant factor in the conflicts in Syria and Iraq. It argues that while sectarian identities pre-existed in both countries, their importance fluctuated based on context. When protests broke out in Syria and Iraq, the governing authorities quickly adopted sectarian rhetoric and tactics. Over time, opposition groups that were better organized, trained, and financed from abroad grew in influence and also embraced sectarianism. This helped further sectarianize the conflicts as these groups competed with the regimes. The thesis aims to contribute to theories of ethnic conflict by showing how identities are socially constructed and can change based on political and social circumstances. It also examines how international factors, like foreign militant groups, can shape identity
Religious Extremism in Pakistan
Religious extremism in Pakistan has several causes, including a lack of distinction made between religion and culture, insufficient religious education, and exposure to extremist ideologies in some madrasas. This extremism threatens social harmony and national security in Pakistan. The best solution is for the government to significantly improve education across Pakistan to promote moderate understanding of Islam and discourage radicalization. Educating the public in accordance with the tolerant principles of the Quran and Hadith is key to reducing extremism.
Extremism, Terrorism: Mad, Bad, or Both?
While terrorism continues to make headlines around the world, some researchers have suggested that terrorists are mentally ill and have used labels such as psychopathic or sociopathic, narcissistic, paranoid and schizophrenic. Others have argued that there is no evidence to indicate that they are mentally ill, disordered, psychopathic or otherwise psychologically abnormal.
The Royal's Dr. AG Ahmed, Dr. Wadgy Loza and Dr. Pius Adesanmi discuss research findings and reflect on the new meanings and manifestations of terrorism and extremism in Canada and around the world.
Religious Extremism in Pakistan: Causes and Solutions
This document discusses religious extremism in Pakistan. It identifies several causes that have led to the rise of religious extremism such as illiteracy, lack of law and order implementation, foreign disruptions, and a corrupt system. The consequences of religious extremism are identified as threats to peace, terrorism, and national disintegration. Solutions proposed include increasing education, properly implementing law and order, instituting checks and balances on religious institutions, controlling media messaging, and having religious scholars promote inclusive teachings. The document concludes by calling for unity and adherence to the true teachings of Islam.
Global Extremism: Causes & Remedy
This presentation examines on extremism and act of terror committed at the global level. Since extremism is an age-old phenomenon that existed all throughout in the history of mankind, the presentation will focus on the many forms of extremism that happen during this modern age of globalization and telecommunication. The crux of the presentation will focus on the root causes of extremism and how to remedy the ever increasing rate of terror attacks that happens all over the world. The researchers have also highlighted that it is unfair to associate extremism carried out by people to their religions. This sort of an unfair judgment has been done in the case of a Muslim to Islam, while the non-Muslim is associated to mental illness. Last but not least, the researchers call for a concerted effort from all, regardless race and religion to join force to eradicate extremism and make this world a safe place for all to live.
Positive & negative effects of religion
This document discusses both the positive and negative effects of religion. On the positive side, it argues that religion promotes social harmony by stabilizing cultures, provides moral values and social change, reduces fear of the unknown, and gives people a sense of purpose and belonging. However, it also notes religion can negatively affirm social hierarchies, cause discrimination, trigger conflicts through intolerances of other beliefs, and in some cases has been used to exploit people or impede scientific advancement. The document concludes by examining some specific historical events driven by religious factors, such as self-immolation protests, widow burning in India, the Inquisition, and the Godhra train fire in India.

This document discusses the role of religion in economic development in a globalizing world. It provides several examples:
1) In India, Hinduism has legitimized the rise of Hindu nationalism and the prosperity of the Indian middle class. Despite secularization, the urban middle class remains religious.
2) In East Asia, concepts similar to the Protestant work ethic in religions like Confucianism have encouraged values like hard work that contributed to economic growth.
3) Research found similarities between the Protestant work ethic and values promoted by Latin American Pentecostalism that can encourage productivity.
4) Pentecostalism's ability to incorporate local customs has contributed to its success in developing countries

Role of religion in society and humanitarian action
Religion plays an important role in society and humanitarian action in three key ways:
1) Religion influences many societies' underlying values and no country has a complete separation of religion and state.
2) The number of faith-based organizations (FBOs) involved in humanitarian work is growing, though their roles and impacts depend on the specific context and crises.
3) FBOs are motivated to both spread their religious influence and assist suffering communities based on their core values, and their presence can help facilitate access to populations in need during humanitarian crises.
Religiousfundamentalism
Religious fundamentalism is partly a reaction against globalization and the changes it brings. Some people feel threatened by foreign influences and look to religious leaders for answers. Religious fundamentalism focuses on differences between groups rather than their shared humanity. While global forces are a factor, political opportunism also plays a role, as leaders exploit fears for their own gain. Examples given include Hindu nationalist groups in India campaigning against foreign companies and cultural influences.
Interfaith harmony and national peace council in pakistan
This document discusses interfaith harmony in Islam and Pakistan. It states that Islam ordains respecting other religions and that all citizens have equal rights regardless of religion. It presents quotes from the Quran and hadith about there being no compulsion in religion and prohibiting harm against non-Muslims. It describes the work of the National Peace Council in Pakistan to promote interfaith harmony through discussions with religious leaders, seminars, and peace committees. While some past incidents of religious violence in Pakistan are mentioned, the document focuses on recent efforts for interfaith cooperation and understanding.
Religious conflicts
Religious conflicts have occurred more frequently in the post-Cold War era for several reasons:
1. Religious differences make conflict more likely and intense, both domestically and internationally. Countries with more religious diversity tend to have more violent conflicts.
2. Religion shapes discrimination against ethnic and religious minorities, especially in autocratic states where religion plays a role in politics.
3. Regimes in Muslim-majority states tend to be more autocratic, restricting civil and political liberties, which can exacerbate tensions.
4. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a long-running example where religious issues are intertwined with national, territorial, and economic issues.
6 overcoming religious fundamentalism
The document discusses religious fundamentalism and strategies to overcome it, defining fundamentalism as a strict adherence to traditional religious doctrines and a return to the fundamentals of faith. It also outlines how fundamentalism promotes ignorance of other groups through rumors, biased media, and politics. Finally, it proposes ways to overcome fundamentalism by addressing self, promoting unity with humankind, establishing dialogue, and creating a culture of peace.
Religious Conflict
The document defines religious conflict and discusses three types: inter-religious conflicts between different religious groups, intra-religious conflicts within religious groups over religious matters, and sectarian violence arising from perceptions of superiority between religious subdivisions. It provides examples of each type and notes religious conflicts can be caused by disagreements between religious beliefs and governmental policies.

Extremism the bane of our society
Extremism, especially religious extremism, has become a major challenge in Pakistan that threatens social cohesion and national security. It manifests through violent acts by extremist groups and human rights violations when extremists gain power. While some argue extremism stems from political grievances, others believe the extremist ideology itself justifies antagonism. Reformist Muslim voices are seen as critical to countering extremist narratives. In Pakistan, extremism in recent years has led to over 1,700 terrorist attacks in 2013 alone, carried out mainly by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, killing over 2,400 people. Beyond organized groups, extremism is also growing at the individual level and destroying families and society.

Emergence militant-fundamentalism
Fundamentalism refers to a reactionary movement among religious groups who strongly reject aspects of modernism and secularism. Fundamentalists believe they alone have access to absolute religious truth and morality. They take religious texts literally and believe in returning to a mythical past. Fundamentalism has emerged as a force across major religions in opposition to trends like democracy, pluralism, and women's rights. While most fundamentalists oppose modern values peacefully, some use violence to achieve their ends.
Shia Islam and Religious Forbearance among students in Iran A qualitative stu...
The main questions of this study is why there is no sign of serious conflicts over religious beliefs in Iran, while other Muslim countries are almost all at war. We assumed that there is something to do with the Shia sect of Islam because in comparison of Iran and other Muslim countries, the most important difference is that the majority of people in Iran is Shia. We defined a concept, religious forbearance, and tried to find out, first if it is rooted to Shia Islam, and second if it is a social norm in Iran or not. We interviewed about twenty five students from two national universities of Iran, University of Tehran and Amirkabir University of Technology. To select our cases and conduct our study, we used judgment sampling and unstructured interviews. Using the norm model of three essential attributes, we find out that we can call our concept of religious forbearance a social norm which regulate and diminish the religious conflict in a Shia society like Iran. By explaining the cognitive situation we find out that this norm have a greater chance of emerging in the context of Shia Islam than of Sunni Islam. By investigating the system condition we found out that the spread of the means of communication could have a positive impact on the emergence of this norm. Also, we understood that the main value behind this norm is that people, now in Iran, consider the mutual interests to be more important than religious interests.

This document discusses the challenges that arise when religious institutions seek to directly participate in political life while also maintaining special privileges and protections from criticism. It analyzes several examples, including blasphemy laws in Pakistan and cases involving foreigners in countries like Sudan and Afghanistan. The thesis is that where religious institutions enter politics, their beliefs should not be given any special deference. Allowing religion privileged status in political debates can undermine principles of democracy, minority rights, and the rule of law.
From Secular Liberalism to "Hobby LobbY"--the State
This document discusses the challenges that arise when religious institutions seek to directly participate in politics within multi-religious states. It argues that where religious groups enter politics, their beliefs should not be granted special privilege or protection from criticism. The document examines examples in Pakistan, Sudan, Afghanistan, and Western countries to show how privileging religion can undermine principles of secular rule of law, democracy, and minority rights. It concludes that while religion is increasingly political, institutions may not be prepared to engage in politics without insulating their beliefs from political contestation and debate. This could transform political systems in ways incompatible with liberal democracies.
From Secular Liberalism to "Hobby Lobby"--The State of Religion and the Relig...
Religion has returned to the secular state; does crisis result? Conflating variations of Marxist-Leninist states, whose godless communism” of the 20th century sought to marginalize religion as a political adversary, with the Westphalian state that sought to avoid sectarian conflict by separating the institutional state from the apparatus of religion, modern secular liberal theory has long problematized the role of religion in modern "secular" states. Critics of secular liberal modernity never fully accepted its premises and “post” modernists have sought to undo to “reform” the structures of secular liberalism to provide for a larger space for “religion” in politics and economics. This essay considers the issue of the "return" of religion from a comparative constitutional perspective. Its central premise is that where institutional religion is both protected and engaged in political life through which it seeks to harmonize institutional state and religious government, the resulting system tends to advantage a privileged religion in political life over its political rivals. It develops this thesis by weaving together several stories from developing and developed states where religion has acquired a more privileged role. These illustrate the ways that blasphemy and apostasy laws and the incorporation of religious values skew the nature and application of the rule of law, the nature and limits of direct democracy, the relationship between apostasy and treason, the language of interpretation and the power to participate in that dialogue, and the role of the foreign or minority. The effect is especially pronounced in states formally organized on global secular liberal principles of neutral and tolerant process and values neutrality. It suggests a context for the insight, at the center of secular liberalism’s solicitude for religion, that where the apparatus of institutional religion seeks to enter into the political life of a state its religious beliefs ought not to be accorded any particular deference. It will suggest the nature of the shocks to the constitutional settlement of the U.S. constitution and its now misunderstood model of secularism, which touches on the construction of a shadow religious state within American secular liberalism. To that end the Supreme Court decision in Hobby Lobby is considered in light of the prior discussion. The essay concludes that for secular liberalism the price of preserving the privileging of the practices and autonomy of religion in a multi-religious state is the disbarring of institutional religion (though not religious values) from organized political life. The alternative, privileging (institutional) religion and permitting it a broad institutional right to participate in politics, is very much in evidence abroad.
module-4-the-globalization-of-religion.pptx
Globalization has provided a context for the revival and resurgence of many religions worldwide. Modern technologies like the internet and air travel have allowed religious ideas and followers to spread across borders like never before. While some religious groups oppose globalization for threatening local cultures and beliefs, others see it as an opportunity to evangelize and expand their reach on a global scale. Religions have proven highly adaptable over time, both facilitating and adjusting to the forces of globalization.

Lecture 4 religion & terrorism
1. The document discusses the relationship between religion and terrorism, examining how religiously motivated terrorist groups use sacred texts and beliefs to justify violence.
2. It explores various types of religious terrorism including apocalyptic terrorism aimed at fomenting the end of the world, and terrorism seeking to create a religious government or cleanse a region of non-believers.

The Myth of The Secular Nigerian State and National Development
The Myth of The Secular Nigerian State and National DevelopmentAssociate Professor in VSB Coimbatore
Nigeria is a secular state in theory, religion supremacy functions has been the expression of political identity and facts obviously in conflicts over resources, land, and political offices. Increasing clashes between religious groups, predominantly Muslim and Christian have taken the nation from what used to be peaceful coexistence to violent disharmony. For the course of this paper, region in politics is as old as the history of the Nigerian state. What is new in the current exclusion is the extent to which religion dominates national life. The myth of the secular Nigerian state that purports to separate the institutions of religion from those of the government has failed to translate into reality. Indeed, there is evidence to show that Nigeria's troublesome religious conflict, especially during election and beyond will negatively affect national development. It is against this backdrop that the paper traces the historical and contemporary issues of religion plurality in the challenge of national development, with particular attention to the security dilemma for Nigeria in the 21st century, paying attention to the growing influence of the unchecked religion in politics, and its significance to modern politics and how this accounts for increasing manners of conflict in Nigerian states. This paper therefore makes some recommendations and concludes that there cannot be any meaningful national development without proper interreligious peace and harmony.Similar to Holes and goals presentation (15)

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
